About Us
Growing Together Through the Arts
Once Upon A Stage Theatre began over 12 years ago in a tiny room inside a local music school, with just a handful of students and a big dream. Since then, it has blossomed into a cherished part of the community—touching hearts, sparking imagination, and nurturing young artists. Our students have grown with us, following our passionate founder, Claudia Lopez, from space to space. Today, we’re overjoyed to finally open the doors to a home we can call our own.
GOALS
Once Upon A Stage Theatre is dedicated to providing students of all ages with a safe, welcoming space to perform and create art. In a world full of challenges, we offer a place where young artists can express themselves freely, build lasting friendships, and grow into confident, creative professionals.
OUR FOUNDER
Our founder, Claudia Lopez, began teaching music and theatre at just 19 years old and quickly fell in love with it. A performing artist herself, she finds deep joy in watching her students grow, express themselves, and shine on stage. As she puts it, working with kids “brings light to my life.”
